On Friday evening, local author and artist Lynn Starter came by the store to meet readers, share her stories and talk about the history and people of Rathtrevor Beach, which also happens to be the subject of her new book.

A description from the book’s website:

“Tales of Rathtrevor Beach: Legacy of a Family”
by Lynn Starter

This book is an account of the lives of the people of Rathtrevor Beach, gained from documented research, done both in Canada and in Ireland, from Lynn Starter’s personal relationship with some of the Rath family, and includes the author’s memoir of happy childhood summers spent with the Rath family.

You can read more about the book at RathtrevorBeach.ca, or come into Gallowglass Books — hours/address/map — anytime to take a look. And if you don’t live in the area just email us for more information.

The book is brand new and priced at $25.95, filled with Ms. Starter’s own original art throughout on full-color plates.

It was a lovely evening (even Christmas Carolers stopped by!) and we extend our deepest thanks to Ms. Starter for choosing to share her book with our patrons.
